A personal or director’s guarantee is a commitment to pay back a loan that is general in nature rather than stipulating the security for a particular asset. The person who signs the guarantee is personally liable if the company creditor is unable to make the repayment.
The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is a central, national online register operated by the New Zealand Government. It records security interests that have been granted to individuals who own personal property (including items or assets). The PPSR gives the priority of personal property assigned depending on the date that a security interest was registered.
The caveat can be described as a formal document lodged to offer the public notice of a legal claim against a property.

About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the business owner borrows from the assets they have to make the funding. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a business property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new financing using the value of what you already own.
Should I require security to secure a business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access, however we do need an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the loan terms (as stated in your loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally there is an individual ensure and security in the form of a charge over assets.
